Small Practice, Big Impact: Claire Nash on Cash Flow, Clients and Confidence

Charging 50% upfront. Blogging to get work. Teaching part-time and even working as a dinner lady in the early days.

From just herself to a team of six. Refusing to play the “starving artist” trope. Claire Nash isn’t just running an architecture practice - she’s rewriting the manual.

In this honest, funny and practical conversation, Claire breaks down what it’s really like running a small architecture studio in the UK. From cash flow crunches to the mindset shift needed to chase overdue invoices, how she carved out a niche in barn conversions, scaled the team, and wrote two books along the way.

If you’re dreaming of starting your own practice or just want to make yours a little less chaotic, this one’s for you.
